You and the other Slytherin girls follow Gemma as she leads you down a corridor. She points our dormitories for the older girls, as well as a number of bathrooms that girls from various years share. The walls are adorned with ancient tapestries, as well as portrait paintings of former residents, many of which move due to magical enchantments.

“Here we are,” Gemma says, “First year dormitories. You have to share a bathroom with the second years I’m afraid. This bathroom isn’t in use so don’t go in there. The door is locked anyway.”

Something flickered in Gemma’s eyes as she said that, making you suspicious.

“I’ll leave you girls to settle in and choose your rooms and room mates. We’re all meeting back in the common room in half an hour, so don’t be late.”

She leads you into the dormitory rooms. There are bunk beds for first years, with two girls sharing each room, and a small sitting or study room shared between four girls. As you walk past the first room, Pansy and Daphne immediately claim it.

“This will be our room,” Pansy announces, “House Elves! bring my luggage, and Daphne’s too.”

There is a loud crack as a team of three House Elves appear out of thin air, levitating the girls luggage into their room.

Pansy and Daphne take a room on the left to share together. You’d be jealous at being left out if it weren’t for Lily being with you

Daphne whispers in Pansy’s ear, and Pansy turns to her and nods.

“If you want to Emily, you and Lily can take the room next to ours,” Daphne says.

“Thanks,” you say, with only mild sarcasm, “I was waiting to ask your permission.”

Daphne rolls her eyes slightly, “We can share a study room this way. There’s another little room with a small bathroom too. These are the best first year rooms.”

You and Lily will have a room to share, and a bathroom to share with Pansy and Daphne

WORK IN PROGRESS NOT FINISHED YET You and Lily look at the room you will share. You immediately notice that the previous occupants have left some creepy looking dolls behind, which you remove from the room and dump in the corridor outside. Other than that, the room looks pretty cosy, with some windows backing on to the lake, and numerous curtains for privacy and extra warmth. Despite being underground and next to a lake, the dormitories are warm and cosy.

“Is it true that you’re a Dream Sorceress?” Daphne asks Lily, apparently offering the girl an olive branch of sorts.

“Um…” Lily starts, “Well, Professor Trelawney says I have The Sight, and that I could be really good at Divination Magic. It’s Emily that says I’m an Onero… an Onero…”

“An Oneiromancer,” you say, “Yes, a Dream Sorceress. That’s the name for seers who have prophetic dreams. Isn’t that cool?”

Pansy narrows her eyes at you suspiciously, but Daphne smiles at you and Lily.

“Well, welcome to Slytherin House Lily,” she says, holding out her hand, which Lily takes and shakes gently.

What do you do next?
